Winter fuel allowance madness

estate.

And OP can't do anything with it, other than treat it as one of the assets of her MIL's estates.

I missed it too Teetime.

I think Jess is right, the qualifying date has past and the computerised system doesn't allow for changes.

Sorry to hear your news, I must have missed it on a thread

Donating it to charity seems like a good idea, one that she may have chosen herself.

Yes, give it to Help the Aged perhaps?

Sorry to hear she has died- but you knew how poor her quality of life had become. x

Or hers?

You could give it to your favourite charity?

There was probably an earlier date in the year when she became eligible. It would be too expensive to make day by day adjustments to the relevant file of names. Best not to stress about it at this difficult time.

Teetime I'm sorry, I didn't know your mil had died, my sympathy to you all

You can't beat the system!
